Former Seton Hall men's basketball player Jeff Robinson has signed a professional contract to play in Austria.

Robinson, a Trenton native who graduated earlier this year, will play for BSC Raiffeisen Furstenfeld, which plays in Austria's "A" league.

The 6-foot-6 forward played two seasons with Seton Hall after transferring from the University of Memphis, averaging about 12 points a season. He was the only Pirate to start all 31 games last season.

“I’m really happy for Jeff,” Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard said in a statement. “He’s put in a significant amount of hard work and effort to prepare himself for this opportunity. He certainly deserves any success that comes his way in the future. We wish him the best of luck overseas.”

Former Seton hall player Stan Gaines also played for BSC Raiffeisen Furstenfeld in 2008.
